Advantages Of The Attack![]() (1) You can elect the point of attack while the defender must be prepared to resist at all points. (2) The fact that you are advancing in spite of the defender's fire stimulates you and depresses the enemy. (3) You leave your dead behind while the defender must fight among his fallen comrades, which is demoralizing. (4) You usually are conscious of the fact that you have more men on your side than the defender. You have more rifles on the line than the enemy. (5) Your fire is usually more efficacious than that of your opponent because it is usually converging while his is diverging.

By gaining and maintaining fire superiority you remove all doubt as to the final outcome of the attack.
